Production

The Production Theory Handbook gives the top five tips for all of the major DAWs, including Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Cubase, Finale and Reason. It also includes five tips on mastering.

Songwriting

From crafting a melody to licensing opportunities, the Songwriting Handbook features step-by-step information on creating a hit.

Orchestration

The Orchestration Handbook covers the basics of composing for live or sampled orchestra, writing for film and tv and doing sound design for video games. There are also articles on royalties and creating great video content.

Music Business

The Music Business gives an overview of publishing, licensing and royalties as well as direct marketing to fans and the future challenges of the music business.

Each of the handbooks is meant to be a primer for Berklee’s Online education program, with articles being written by instructors in their respective program. Though free, as one of the world’s top-ranked music schools, the quality of information in these handbooks (and subsequent courses) is as good as it gets. You can’t afford to not check them out.
